Comment to Win a Cinder Kitten Pet

We've been making it a habit to do research surveys for advertising to help make Wowhead and the ZAM Network more relevant for our users. They've been pretty successful thanks to you guys. This user feedback helps us get more gaming oriented clients and makes the general ad experience more positive for our users.

This time marketing just wants to ask a simple question: do you use Steam or other digital distribution services? If so, which ones and why?

Do you use digital download services such as Steam? If so, which ones and why?

We are giving away five Cinder Kitten to five lucky commenters on this post as a token of our thanks (if you already have this pet, you can pick another Blizzard store pet). We'll be choosing their new owners on Thursday at 12:00PM PDT, so be sure to comment by then if you want a chance to win!

Not currently, but I'm looking at what Steam has to offer and may start that service soon.

I use Steam for over 80 games besides my MMOs because it's easier to get the games you want when you want them this way. Thanks for the giveaway!

I do use steam, but only because it's required for DOTA 2 and Global Agenda. I keep it closed when I'm playing WoW or other blizzard titles.

Yeah I use steam, mainly because all of my other gamer friends do, and it's fun to play Team Fortress 2 and stuff, oh, and the Skyrim Mod section is pretty awesome.

The only one I use is Steam, and it's because they tend to have really good sales. I don't really buy games online unless there's a good deal going on.

I use steam for a load of games, and I have to say it works very well. The downloads are fast, it has a load of discount sales and a bit of a social network around it aswell. I also use Origin and Games for Windows Live, but those are both based on Steam and don't work at all. I only have them because they were required for some games.

I use Steam primarily since I can get a lot of good deals on both major companies and indie games through their store and various third party sites such as Green Man Gaming. If it does count, I lightly use shops such as Nintendo's eShop and PSN as well because it's built into the consoles.

I use Steam and have a handful of games on it (mostly from various Humble Bundles), but I honestly don't use it that often because I spend most of my gaming time in WoW. That and silly ipad games from the iTunes store.

Hi! Good luck to all members who wish to have a Beautiful burning kitty! :) I'm using steam for games that can't be really played without it eg. Dota2,when I use Desura for special mods for games I sometimes play eg Half-Life 2 Hell mode ( killing zombies ). I some OnLive when there are sales eg games for £1 ( or $1 ), and same with Orgin really.

Not me either as I only play WOW on my computer.

I just used the basic WoW downloader. Steam is great for some things, but for an mmorpg, It's not worth the strange file management system thats used.

Just Steam for me. I did use Origin once because of a game I purchased that required it, but it was awful.

No, I don't use anything like that but my kids use Steam. I only play WoW and NWN.

I use Steam though I rarely buy anything over it as I lack the means to. All of my games on Steam have been gifted to me. I have generous friends.
